Motion Text

That this House notes the twice per year change when UK clocks and watches are altered by one hour, British Summer Time starting this year on 30 March and then changed back on 26 October; and calls for an informed debate on the advantages and disadvantages of deciding that there could be a five year period where no time changes occur, to establish whether there is a reduction in road accidents during the morning rush hour, and a favourable public reaction to the move away from the twice yearly change of one hour.
